Thanks for all of the advice. I have done a clean install, hence the reason I had no working copy installed. I tried to install after a hard reset with no effect on the installation. It still gives me the error. I am taking Liquid Tension's advice and downloading the offline installer. In reference to the proxy, I suspect it is the product of either the VPN or Norton Security Suite. I use Norton and invoke the VPN often, though not always. I hope this clears up the question about the proxy. On that note, I am not experiencing any network issues, though some sites will not let me access their content with the VPN on, even if I whitelist them. Perhaps this could be an issue, but I have turned off the VPN and am still experiencing the same message. However, it gets me to thinking that since I have exceeded my "unlimited" data threshold and am now throttled, the install is timing out. Any thoughts?
